1. An apparatus comprising:
- an imager able to acquire one or more images;
a light detector to detect, in response to a triggering event, a light level corresponding to at least a portion of a field-of-view of the imager;
a controller to determine based on the detected light level one or more configurational values of the imager, to transfer the determined configurational values to the imager, and to command the imager to rapidly acquire one or more images utilizing the determined configurational values; and
a triggering unit to perform an activation process of the apparatus.

16. A method of acquiring an image consisting essentially of:
-
detecting, in response to a triggering event, a light level corresponding to at least a portion of a field-of-view of an imager;
determining, based at least on the detected light level, one or more configurational values for the imager;
altering a state of the imager to an operational mode after said steps of detecting and determining; and
operating the imager according to the determined configurational values to acquire one or more images utilizing the determined configurational values.
